    Hello from Oregon,
    We added our 2020 to the fam in January and I just got all the parts together and installed about a week ago. Pretty happy with how its sitting now. The Tundra joins an all Toyota stable including a 14 ISF, 08 V8 4Runner, and a 94 4x4 SR5 Truck with a 5vz swap.

    I have already learned a great deal from this forum and looking forward to contributing.


    Cheers!

    Thanks, it was a bit of a process over the last few months trying to figure out what to go with as I wanted to make sure everything I was doing would increase functionality with a minimal increase in maintenance. As it sits, its on Elka Stage 4 DSC 2-3" coil-overs. I haven't changed from the factory settings at 2.5" and 7 clicks out on the compression and it rides great. Rear is the same Elka setup with the addition of the Maxtrac 1" shackle. The shackle was a straight bolt on, no removal of the factory bushings or sleeve, so was super easy to install. Tires are the Toyo AT3 in 295/70/18 with the Ray 10s. UCA's are Dirk King ball joint and work great. I was staying away from the uniball setup for maintenance reasons. Originally planned Icon Delta Joint tubular UCA but heard of alignment challenges with those. I rolled the dice on Dirt King parts, not knowing much about them but so far impressed with the quality and the alignment came back great. From there just a few minor things, installed CB front bumper shims and got away with just .25" shim vs .5 it comes with. Originally removed the front mud flap but was able to trim it up nicely and put it back on.

    A few install pics:

    Rear Shackles

    Comparison
    Wheel Tire Preview (I actually have 2 pics I was comparing side by side deciding what sidewall to go with, the AT3's have 2 slightly different sidewall patterns)
